Like Breath on Glass: Whistler, Inness, and the Art of Painting Softly
Forty beautiful paintings by James McNeill Whistler, George Inness, and other American artists working around 1900 come together for the first time in an examination the art of painting softly. As Whistler once stated, “Paint should not be applied thick. It should be like breath on the surface of a pane of glass.” The result of this counsel is a body of contemplative and meditative paintings that, like the mist of breath’s condensation on glass, appear on the canvas without evidence of the artist’s hand.
